    Paya Terubong is a state constituency in Penang, Malaysia, that has been represented in the Penang State Legislative Assembly since 1974. It covers two suburbs of George Town - Paya Terubong and parts of Air Itam - both at the centre of Penang Island.
    The state constituency was created in the 1974 redistribution and is mandated to return a single Assemblyman to the Penang State Legislative Assembly under the first-past-the-post voting system. Since 2008, the State Assemblyman for Paya Terubong is Yeoh Soon Hin from the DAP, which is part of the state's ruling coalition, Pakatan Harapan (PH).
    In terms of population size, Paya Terubong is the largest state constituency in Penang, with 46,741 registered voters within this constituency alone as of April 2018. Concerns have been raised by the locals about the lopsided population disparity between the Paya Terubong constituency and the other, less populated seats in Penang, and the perceived malapportionment of the state seats.
